A couple of weeks later she saw the mechanic driving her car around the town.
Why did the garage still have the car a couple of weeks later? This makes no sense to me

Sounds like to me your mum just got her car fixed for free. As nothing was agreed to be done to the car you may own them some nominal diagnostic fee (?) but hard to see them getting away with anything else. Do they legally (can they?) legally have insurance to drive your mums car?
Solicitors letter? Threat of Joe Duffy / Q102's consumer affairs show?
The garage had the car because they told her it would cost thousands to fix it and not worth doing.
They told her it had blown a gasket and was undriveable.
So she left it until she tried to figure out what to do with it. Obviously as they told her it was undriveable, she hardly thought she could drive it home.
It still makes no sense as no garage will store a car indefinitely, days maybe but not weeks.
Do you think they scrapped it? Can they do that without the papers?
Was there any further interaction during those weeks. The garage should have made contact about asking your mother to move the car or charging a storage fee.
?? How do you think they have scrapped it if was seen on the road. A question I have to ask is, how long was your mother planning to leave her car in a garage while she decided what action to take. While what was done is completely wrong, I think the garage got the hump with a car left on their premisis with no communication.
